Any further guidance here?   I'm definitely not going to go wading
through a 100Gb log file without any further guidance on what to look
for.  If I can't figure this out I'll probably just nuke BackupPC and
write a few scripts to use rsync to do the job, along with one of the
programs I found to traverse the HD and hard-link dup files..

I'm a seasoned Linux/UNIX guy and not the least bit shy of a bit of
debugging.   But I'm still not going to go blindly wading through a
100Gb log file.
